Suspensions / discipline

Not sourced yet · no discipline records on file · search bound: recorded search of official transaction feeds on disk 2026-01-01 → 2026-09-19 (32 clubs: 31 club-published and 1 from the nfl.com league ledger as the approved equivalent (DAL); 1966 rows; no club feed missing) for /\bsuspend|reserve\s*\/\s*suspended|commissioner(?:'s)?\s+exempt|exempt\s*\/\s*commissioner/i: 5 filings. The league discipline ledger is not a provisioned source, so absence here is a bounded search, not a true negative. Club feed for DAL: dallascowboys.com publishes no transactions page (absent from its own sitemap; /team/transactions, /team/roster-moves and /news/roster-moves all 404 — verified 2026-09-01 and 2026-09-02), so its rows are relayed from the nfl.com league transactions ledger filtered to the Cowboys: the league office's own filing of every move, an approved equivalent official source carrying the same event contract (asOf 2026-09-20)
